In addition to SLE certification, Sobha One has also been recognised with the Whole Life Carbon badge
Sobha Realty has announced that its flagship Dubai project, Sobha One, has been awarded the Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy (SLE) certification by Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA). This achievement makes Sobha One the first building outside Singapore to earn this certification, highlighting Sobha Realty's commitment to environmentally friendly living experience, said a statement from the developer.
In addition to the SLE certification, Sobha One has also been recognised with the Whole Life Carbon badge in testament to the project's dedication to low-impact development and eco-conscious design.
The Green Mark certification is a globally recognised benchmark for environmental resourcefulness, assessing projects across five critical categories: Resilience, Whole Life Carbon, Health & Wellbeing, Intelligence, and Maintainability. Sobha One's innovative design delivers best-in-class energy performance, achieving an impressive 60% energy savings compared to 2005 standards, a testament to Sobha Realty's ethos of 'Art of The Detail', said the statement.
Francis Alfred, Managing Director of Sobha Realty commented, 'Sustainability is a commitment woven into every aspect of our work. With Sobha One becoming the first building in the Middle East to achieve the Green Mark Platinum SLE certification, we are proud to set new standards in responsible living and low-carbon development. This milestone reflects our dedication to innovation, quality, and environmental responsibility; aligning with global sustainability goals and the UAE's Net Zero vision for 2050.'
This achievement reflects attention to quality, climate-friendly leadership, and design that characterises every Sobha Realty development. Backward Integration model by Sobha Realty maintains complete control over the development process, integrating advanced technologies such as CAFM, Common Data Environment (CDE) platforms, digital twins, and predictive maintenance dashboards.
Sobha One also aligns with climate risk assessments and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework to mitigate and manage climate risks, the developer pointed out. The project's pre-certification will be verified post-construction to ensure compliance with the international sustainability standards. Sobha Realty's dedication to environmental stewardship likewise aligns with the UAE's Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative and global climate goals, while demonstrating the company's leadership and clear strategy for emissions reduction through ESG reports, Greenhouse Gas (GHG) assessments and GRESB benchmarking assessments.
Administered by Singapore's Building and Construction Authority (BCA), the Green Mark Scheme sets a global standard for sustainable design and best practices in construction. These innovations drive energy efficiency, resources optimisation, and long-term operational performance.

Sobha Realty announces the Sobha Privy Collection and launches ‘The S'
Property Sobha Realty announces the Sobha Privy Collection and launches 'The S' By The new tower is envisioned as an equilateral triangle sculpted at the apex of the district's canal arc Sobha Realty has unveiled its Sobha Privy Collection brand, which is said to encompass a new era of ultra-luxury living that embodies the design philosophy – The Art of Sublime. Sobha Privy Collection is characterised by seven fundamental principles – expansive living spaces, iconic addresses, unparalleled finesse, exceptional service, exclusive amenities, extraordinary privacy, and a distinct quality that elevates each home above the rest, said a statement. Marking the launch of the new brand, the developer has unveiled a new ultra-luxury development, 'The S' at Sobha Hartland II. According to the firm, this architectural landmark, the final and tallest reveal within the masterplan, is inspired by the 'The S' on Sheikh Zayed Road. The new tower is envisioned as an equilateral triangle sculpted at the apex of the district's canal arc, providing breathtaking 270-degree panoramic views across Downtown Dubai, the central lagoon, and beyond, the firm said in a statement. Ravi Menon, Chairman of Sobha Group said, 'Sobha Privy Collection reflects our pursuit of purity in design and perfection in detail. With 'The S' at Sobha Hartland II, we are presenting residences that speak the language of grandeur, stillness, elegance, and enduring value for those who resonate with the extraordinary.' Loai Al Fakir, CEO of Provident Real Estate added, ''The S' wasn't just another development; it was a project that demanded attention. From the design to the delivery, Sobha Realty brought something truly refined to the table, and we knew right away it was worth backing. Being part of its success wasn't just exciting; it reaffirmed why we do what we do.' Extending beyond a single address, Sobha Privy Collection comprises a selection of residences across the developer's projects, including the mansions and villas at Sobha Hartland II Estates, duplexes and Penthouses at SeaHaven, The S – Sheikh Zayed Road, and now, 'The S' at Sobha Hartland II. Each home is shaped with layouts, locations, personalised details, and a quiet focus on privacy, coming together to reflect the care and craft that define the Sobha way, the developer explained. Huimin Wang, Managing Director of Fastway Real Estate commented, 'When Sobha Realty introduced The S on Sheikh Zayed Road, it represented a bold vision of luxury; brought to life with unmatched precision and craftsmanship. Now, as it reaches completion, it stands as a testament to that promise and to everyone who believed in it from the very beginning.' Residences begin from the eighth floor upward, preserving uninterrupted vistas and heightened privacy. The S is a 71-storey tower with just two expansive, villa-scale residences per floor. The design features a floor-to-floor height of four metres with a clear unobstructed glazing expanse, intuitive spatial separation, panoramic master suites, private terraces, and spa-inspired bathrooms bathed in natural light, the statement outlined. At The S, residents experience luxury from the moment they arrive, with a stunning triple-height grand lobby, and concierge and valet services. Every element is shaped by Sobha's hallmark: an obsessive attention to detail refined over decades of craftsmanship. Designed for the global connoisseur, Sobha Privy Collection presents homes as rare and considered, as the lives they are meant to reflect, it added. The S, the final chapter in the Sobha Hartland II story, pays homage to Sobha's legacy while forging a new path. Offering experience of space, tranquility, and refined living. With future additions planned across waterfronts, islands, and skyline-defining destinations, Sobha Privy Collection continues to redefine the modern concept of prestige, rooted in timeless principles of clarity, craftsmanship, and The Art of Sublime, it concluded.

Sobha unveils ‘The S' tower at Sobha Hartland II in Dubai
Sobha Realty, a leading Dubai-based developer, has unveiled its latest ultra-luxury development, The S at Sobha Hartland II. This launch also marks the debut of the developer's newly introduced Sobha Privy Collection, a curated portfolio of ultra-premium residences designed for global connoisseurs of bespoke living. Positioned as the tallest and final tower within the Sobha Hartland II masterplan, The S represents a striking architectural statement. With a unique equilateral triangular structure sculpted along the arc of a central canal, the tower offers residents 270-degree views of Downtown Dubai, the lagoon, and the surrounding skyline. Each floor comprises just two villa-scale residences, starting from the eighth floor, to maximize privacy and views. At 71 storeys, The S reinforces Sobha's design ethos: understated opulence. Each unit features a 4-metre floor-to-floor height, private terraces, spa-style bathrooms filled with natural light, and unobstructed glazing for panoramic vistas. Residents are greeted by a triple-height lobby and supported by dedicated concierge and valet services. The launch of the Privy Collection signals Sobha Realty's deeper foray into elite real estate, moving beyond traditional luxury into a refined realm of immersive design and personalisation. The collection also includes signature homes across Sobha's top developments, such as mansions and villas at Hartland II Estates, penthouses at SeaHaven, and residences at The S on Sheikh Zayed Road. Ravi Menon, chairman of Sobha Group, described the launch as 'a reflection of our pursuit of purity in design and perfection in detail.' Menon noted that as Dubai continues to attract high-net-worth individuals from across the globe, Sobha's Privy Collection aims to set a new benchmark in luxury real estate, offering not just homes, but curated experiences shaped by clarity, craft, and calm — a concept it calls The Art of Sublime. Industry leaders echoed this sentiment. Loai Al Fakir, CEO of Provident Real Estate, called The S 'a project that demanded attention and delivered refinement,' while Huimin Wang of Fastway Real Estate said the tower is 'a bold vision of luxury brought to life.' Industry analysts note that Sobha Realty is fast emerging as a top-tier luxury brand in Dubai's real estate landscape. With global investors increasingly seeking residences that blend design excellence, privacy, and long-term value, Sobha's commitment to end-to-end quality — from sourcing materials to in-house construction — positions it uniquely in a crowded premium market.
